Dazzling flower show wins over the crowds


THE weather held out for yet another dazzling Taunton Flower Show on Friday and Saturday.

For the first time in its 141-year history the days of the show changed from a Wednesday and Thursday in what seems to have proved a successful move.

Organised by the Taunton Deane Horticultural and Floricultural Society the show continues to attract visitors from around the country.

And this year's show looks as if may be the best ever. With a wide range of arena events, the innovative "Ready, Steady, Garden" event and one of the best turn-outs in the floral marquee for many years, show organisers have put on an enviable display for the visitors.

The children's events have been declared a success, right at the heart of the showground.

For a full report with pictures and all the results of the show, see the Somerset County Gazette on Thursday.
